The Jewish Center violated protocol by failing to alert the Attorney General’s office of the sale, State Sen. Tony Avella’s (D-Bayside) office said and sources confirmed. The senator reached out to State Attorney General Eric Shneiderman’s office as part of an ongoing effort to support residents who have come out against the proposed school site. Assistant Attorney General Karin Goldman responded to Avella, “By failing to issue a petition regarding its proposal to sell the Center, the organi- zation did not give the Attorney General the opportunity to review whether or not the deal was compliant with existing statutes.” The law requires that religious organizations must petition the court before selling their primary asset. “Pursuant to the Religious Corporations Law and the Not-for-profit Corporation Law, religious corporations must petition the court for approval of such sales and give notice of the petition to the Attorney General,” the letter from Goldman read. The School Construction Authority and the Bayside Jewish Center signed off on the sale in early September, the Times Ledger reported, to the consternation of Community Board 11 and some nearby residents, who said a new high school would harm File photo The selection of the Bayside Jewish Center as a school site has been controversial. quality of life in the neighborhood. But the School Construction Authority denied that a sale was finalized. “The purchase agreement has not been completed. The SCA has and will follow all necessary require- ments,” a spokesperson said. The Bayside Jewish Center could not be reached for comment.

There are two phases to this project, the first of which includes a $555 million contract, the largest single contract the NYS DOT has ever undertaken. They will be constructing the Queens-bound Bridge and removing the existing bridge. Phase two includes the construction of the Brooklyn-bound Bridge. The Queens-bound bridge will be built next to the existing bridge so that traffic won’t be disrupted; traffic will maintain on the existing bridge until the new one is built. It will be wide enough to accommodate heavy and slow traffic in both directions. The Queens-bound bridge is set to open by early 2017. The new bridge is funded by the Federal Highway Administration and Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s New York Works Program, which was established to create jobs and spur economic development while rebuilding the state’s infrastructure. As part of the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise, over $70 million of the project was allocated to small businesses. NYS DOT Commissioner Joan McDonald said that the current Kosciuszko Bridge carries more than 160,000 vehicles between Brooklyn and Queens each day and the bridge is necessary for local and regional commerce. According to Diane Park, the public information officer at the NYS DOT, the new Kosciuszko Bridge will improve traffic safety, reduce congestion and improve travel speeds on this segment of the Brooklyn-Queens Ex- RendeRing CouRtesy nysdot a rendering of the new Kosciuszko Bridge. The Queens-bound span should be done by 2017. pressway by including wider driving lanes, standard shoulder widths, extra lanes in both directions and a reduced road incline, which will make it easier for trucks to maintain consistent speeds on the bridge. The Kosciuszko Bridge will be designed in a cable-stayed type, which will create a signature skyline element between Brooklyn and Queens. The design for this project was modeled after the process used on the new Tap- pan Zee Bridge. “Replacing the Kosciuszko Bridge with a new span designed to last for the next 100 years means providing a stronger and more resilient transportation network for commuters throughout the New York City area for generations to come,” said Cuomo. Other features for the bridge include a new bikeway and walkway on the Brooklyn-bound bridge, a beautiful view of Manhattan, new parks and open spaces on both the Brooklyn and Queens-bound bridges and improved access to the waterfront. It will also feature streetscaping enhancements of local streets within the project limits. This means including decorative lighting, tree planting and new sidewalks.

Nonprofit Oversight Bill Proposed By Jon Cronin Staff Writer In the wake of the Queens Library scandal involving former CEO and President Thomas Galante and his interim replacement Bridget QuinnCarey, Council Woman Elizabeth Crowley (D-Glendale) introduced city legislation that would enforce not-forprofit city leaders to disclose income outside their city-held positions. According to a press release from Crowley’s office the “bill would mandate all persons in leadership positions at charitable, city-funded, not-forprofit organizations, including public libraries, annually report sources of outside income to the City.” At Friday’s hearing Crowley felt the mayor’s office did not think the legis- lation was necessary. The impression they gave her was that this law being an improvement on another 30 year-old law, which has never been followed, was “antiquated”. She said she and the nine other council members whose names are on the bill will return for another hearing after strengthening its language. “There’s no agency making sure those important disclosures do happen,” she said, suggesting the city should develop a wing within their Department of Investigation. Crowley believes that with all the money going to not-for-profits from the city there should be more transparency to make sure none of is going into a CEO’s pocket or that of their friends and family. The bill includes not only a separate income but the involvement of in outside activities. The release stated, “the material terms of any transaction between such person and any institution, any partnership of which such person is a member, or any corporation in which such person holds 10 percent or more common stock.” Joanne King, spokesperson for the Queens Library wrote in a statement, “Queens Library is committed to transparency and accountability and is committed to building trust among all stakeholders to help us fulfill our mission.” Crowley stressed that under the proposed legislation, “If [not-forprofits] don’t adhere to the bill they’re not going to get funded.” Reach Reporter Jon Cronin at (718) 357-7400 x125, jcronin@queenstribune.com or @JonathanSCronin Page 4 Tribune Oct. 1-7, 2015 • www.queenstribune.com Cuomo Creates Task Force On Common Core By Marissa Collado After declaring that the country is in the midst of “an education revolution,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo has unveiled a new task force which will undertake the reevaluation of common core standards across the state. The 15-member panel will be led by former Time Warner and Citigroup Chairman Richard Parsons and includes American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten as well as a group of parents, teachers, education officials and state legislators. “The evidence of failure is everywhere,” Cuomo said in a video statement released Tuesday. “It is time to overhaul the common core program and also the way we test our students. As a parent I believe our education system tests our students too often and for too long, and we should relieve the unnecessary pressure on our children that detracts from the time spent learning.” Common core has been controversial. Some don’t like that it standardizes learning practices, while others think it is too complicated and strict. “I think that it should be a little less rigid and that we should have more of a creative spin to the common core where students are aesthetically engaged with the curriculum,” said Woroud Shuaib, a seventh grade teacher in Jackson Heights. For Shuaib the opportunity to liven up her lesson plans can encourage her students to more effectively remember the skills being taught and to help them become more motivated. The diversity of the task force will represent “every corner of the State of New York,” said Cuomo. The agenda of the group is to do a “total reboot” of the current standards. The overhaul will include a review and reform where deemed necessary of the common core standards but also the State’s curriculum. The website for the task force, ny.gov/programs/common-core-taskforce, encourages New Yorkers to share their common core stories and ideas and tips. “The pressure has proven to take away value from a true education and has put many teachers on their toes in regards to being evaluated not by their effectiveness of having their students surpass individual goals within the classroom but by the scores they bring forth overall,” said Lauren Leverett who works as a student teacher in an eighth grade classroom in Ridgewood. In addition to curriculum review the panel will consider how the number of tests and duration of testing can be reduced. The group will go through all state and local tests with parents to File Photo Gov. Andrew Cuomo has created a task force to reevaluate common core standards. determine the purpose and usefulness of tests to reduce to “total test burden” on students, said the Governor. “You cannot measure a student’s growth on the basis of one high stakes exam.” said Leverett echoing Cuomo’s thoughts. Dilip Nath, a member of the community education council for District 26 in Northeast Queens and president of the parent-teacher association at MS 216 in Fresh Meadows, welcomed Cuomo’s announcement. Education is the most important gift we can provide our children and that T:8.75” is why it is so important that parents have faith in the learning standards to which their children are taught,” Nath said in a statement. “Recent events regarding the Common Core implementation have shaken their confidence, but New York is now taking action that will strengthen and improve the implementation of those learning standards, help calm the fears of parents and teachers, and bring a renewed trust in our children’s schooling.” The New York State United Teachers also described the need for state testing changes. “Without question, tests and evaluations must not be a punitive system of ‘gotcha.’ Clearly, an overhaul is needed. We welcome the opportunity to continue to work to resolve these issues through the governor’s task force,” said the NYSUT. Borough President Melinda Katz believes the common core standards are more of a common problem for students across the country“Many parents -- certainly from every neighborhood in Queens -- agree that we need standards. That is not the issue. As a parent who does homework with my second grader every day, the curriculum and implementation are clearly flawed. I am pleased the Governor is addressing the concerns of parents and is committed to swift and comprehensive reforms,” said Katz in a press release.

She noted that one in four women in the United States will experience a domestic violence incident at some point in their lifetime. “It’s a type of crime that is so personal,” she said, also noting that domestic violence is one of the prevalent crimes in her district. “Domestic violence continues to be one of the highest reported crimes in my City Council district,” said Crowley. “It’s so important that victims know their rights and that they are not alone. Nobody should feel trapped in their own home. I hope the Bride’s March in Queens will show those affected that they are not trapped, people are there to help and they are stronger than they think.” With a crowd ready to march behind her, Crowley said, “It is so important that victims know their rights.” The march then went all the way up Woodhaven Boulevard to Queen Center Mall chanting “No silence in violence!” The Gladys Ricart and Victims of Domestic Violence Memorial Walk, or Brides’ March, began on Sept. 26, 2001 to memorialize Ricart, who was murdered by her abusive ex-boyfriend the day before her wedding. Participants of the march used the wedding dress as a symbol juxtaposing the happiness of her wedding day against the dour outcome of her murder. Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito, (D-Manhattan/Bronx), wanted to be at the inaugural march in Queens. “The numbers are alarming,” she said, adding that it is important for them to remain united on battling this front. In 2014, there were 25 victims of family-related homicides in Queens, said Crowley. Jasmine Ortiz, a representative of Lifeway Network, which aids women in domestic violence circumstances, spoke about her experiences of domestic abuse where she received “no support.” “It touches my heart that there is help,” Ortiz said, explaining, that she was almost killed after she was kicked while pregnant, later stabbed and still stayed in the relationship for another six years. “No one helped,” she said. She looked to her mother, who did not help because of her own issue with domestic abuse. After the birth Brus On a Brush Grea eat Rate for Photo by Jon Cronin Councilwoman Elizabeth Crowley (D-Glendale) and participants of the Brides March at Atlas Park commons. of her second child she found the will to leave. “I’m not gonna tell you it was easy,” Ortiz said. Lorena Kourousias of the Violence Intervention Program, Inc. said it is “important to build support,” in a situation like this because “it is painful when the community is not supporting them.” Salua Baida, borough supervisor of Queens Domestic Violence Project of Urban Justice Center noted that, “patriarchy is not the only form of oppression.” She believes this ongoing issue not only victimizes the chil- dren involved but potentially creates future abusers. Baida said, “it is a human issue,” and when aiding those in this situation the all the societal and personal needs of the person must be met. CJ Morrison of the Hollaback LGBTQ international movement against street harassment, said no one deserves to hear, “You’re asking for it,” adding, “You deserve to be you on that day, that hour at that minute.” Reach Reporter Jon Cronin at (718) 357-7400 x125, jcronin@queenstribune.com or @JonathanSCronin NY YC CB Liquid CD N Y 7-MONTH CD 0.80 Get this great rate when you enroll in NYCB Elite, link your NYCB Liquid CD to a new or existing NYCB Elite Gold Checking account and maintain $100,000 or more in combined balances1. % APY 1 • Flexible in-branch penalty-free withdrawals2. • $2,500 minimum to open and earn interest. myNYCB.com • (877) 786-6560 1 Annual Percentage Yield (APY) above is accurate as of date of publication and is subject to change without notice.

It’s a good step. Providing aid to those in danger of losing their homes will help stem the tide of homeless families on the street and in shelters. Until now, the only solution we have seen is the opening of more emergency shelters, which has created a tense atmosphere between those housed in the shelters and the surrounding communities. The homeless crisis in New York City is a many-headed hydra, and the mayor’s plan only cuts off one of its heads. There’s still the problem of drug abuse. We see heroin addiction increasingly becoming a problem in Staten Island and in the suburbs. Many addicts become homeless on our streets. Lack of adequate mental health care is a problem that often leads to the mentally ill living on our streets. Stagnant wages also make it hard for the poor to survive, even in affordable housing. A focus also needs to be put on the domestic violence crisis. Many women end up homeless, often with their children, running from abusive husbands or boyfriends. They are literally running for their lives. All these things need to be taken into account when we are talking about the homeless situation. Some, including former Councilman Peter Vallone, point to the court ruling that forces the city to shelter the homeless. Even if New York City was no longer required to shelter, the homeless problem will still be prevalent. We applaud the mayor’s step toward abating the homeless crisis, but urge his administration to take a more comprehensive approach. Obituary It is with deep sadness that we report the passing of Carole Jacobson, sister of former Queens Tribune Publisher Michael Schenkler. Carole died suddenly Sept. 25. We at the Queens Tribune offer our sincerest condolences to Carole’s husband Gil, daughter Debbie as well as to Michael and the rest of the Schenkler family for their profound loss. The Fight Against Substance Abuse By CounCilman RoRy lanCman S ubstance abuse is a scourge that impacts countless lives in our city each day. In 2013, there were 8,238 arrests for intoxicated or impaired driving and 55,529 arrests for misdemeanor drug and drug paraphernalia possession. Tragically, overdose deaths due to heroin doubled between 2010 and 2013, and there are currently more heroin deaths each year than murders in New York City. Addiction is a difficult illness to combat, but it is treatable, something that we acknowledge each September with National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month, which celebrates former addicts who have achieved recovery and sobriety. Those fortunate enough to beat their habits generally do so with the help and support of family and friends, the assistance of drug treatment programs and the supervision of medical professionals trained in providing services to addicts. In New York, however, our front-line forces in the drug epidemic are too often our police officers, who must deal with the most visible symptoms of addiction: the screaming, potentially dangerous or hallucinating individual on the street, a sight that we’ve all seen. The NYPD is doing its best to handle the vexing problem of addiction. Officers throughout the city have been equipped with the anti-overdose medication naloxone, which can save the life of someone who is overdosing. As Police Commissioner Bill Bratton has acknowledged, however, using police officers in this way is “a stopgap.” To truly combat addiction, we need to develop a clear citywide strategy to get people into treatment programs and stop addicts from Michael Nussbaum Publisher Queens County’s Weekly Newspaper Group Founded in 1970 by Gary Ackerman Published Weekly Copyright © 2015 Tribco, LLC Queens Tribune (718) 357-7400 E-mail Address: news@queenstribune.com 150-50 14th Road Whitestone, NY 11357 www.queenstribune.com Domenick Rafter, Editor-in-Chief Shiek Mohamed, Production Manager Marcia Moxam Comrie Contributing Editor Ria MacPherson Comptroller Reporters: Lynn Edmonds, Yvette Brown, Trone Dowd, Jon Cronin Photographers: Bruce Adler, Walter Karling Intern: Marissa Collado Contributors: Michael Stahl, Eric Jordan, Barbara Arnstein, Tammy Scileppi, David Russell, Vladimir Grjonko, Angelia Roggie, Ariel Hernandez, Carmine Carcieri Art Department: Xiang Chau, Lianne Procanyn, Travis Harrison Webmaster: Shiek Mohamed simply cycling on and off the streets. A cornerstone of this approach would be the creation of an Office of Drug Strategy, as proposed by Manhattan Councilman Corey Johnson, which would coordinate a public health approach to our drug crisis. This office would work with the NYPD, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and other relevant city agencies to find solutions to addiction that would protect public safety while ensuring abusers receive treatment, and play a crucial role in reducing the crime and deaths caused by substance abuse. A good place to start would be the challenges and solutions that were identified at a hearing of the Public Safety Committee, on which I serve, examining the City’s response to heroin use and overdoses. The hearing identified several areas where agencies could coordinate bet- Maureen Coppola Advertising Director Howard Swengler Major Accounts Manager Shanie Persaud Director Corporate Accounts/Events Account Executives Helene Sperber Donna Lawlor Shari Strongin Ron Shafran Ruth Ann Warren Accounting: Lisbet Espinal Legals: Caitlin Durney ter, and where there are tensions between our criminal systems and our public health efforts. An office that could coordinate these inter-agency responses would ensure the city takes the most effective path toward solving addiction. The creation of a clear public health strategy toward drug addiction would also free up our police officers to do what they do best: tackle violent crime and get drugs off our streets. Instead of focusing on low-level users, our officers would be able to dedicate more time to taking down drug networks and dealers. Creating the Office of Drug Strategy would show that we are committed to taking action to keep our city safe and help drug users enter recovery and return to productive lives.

FORECLOSURE RESCUE SCAMS Be careful of people who approach you with offers to “save” your home. There are individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit from a homeowner’s distress. You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services. ________________________ Notice of Formation of Calix Realty Holdings, LLC.

The warehouse and textile factory owner, Michael Cronin, who is actively looking to sell his property, said the SCA conducted a phase one and phase two environmental study on his land where a large tank-like drill barely made it into the bay of his loading dock. The SCA environmental study crew then pulled three foot samples approximately four inches in diameter as they drilled 49 feet down in nearly a dozen places inside the factory. They also drilled in few places in his 8,000 square foot parking lot in the rear of the building and in front his building. Cronin said the crew then needed to get a portable drill into his office area, which took up the entire width of the hallway and took several hours to appropriately maneuver. Cronin said this all happened over two to three months in the spring of 2014. He added that the project manager at SCA then transferred to another city job and his replacement has not returned calls since March. market, which had deliv- attractive to potential buyers.

Page 12 Tribune Oct. 1-7, 2015 • www.queenstribune.com Corona School Offers Free Feminine Products By yvette Brown Staff Writer Councilwoman Julissa FerrerasCopeland (D-East Elmhurst) is pushing for greater access to feminine hygiene products. On Sept. 22, Ferreras-Copeland, the City Department of Education and HOSPECO – the industry leader in vended feminine hygiene in North America – unveiled the first dispenser of free feminine products in the girls’ restroom of the High School of Arts and Business in Corona. The dispenser includes free Maxithins sanitary napkins and Tampax tampons for the entire school year. “HOSPECO is proud to be a sponsor of this initiative,” said Bill Hemann, the vice president of sales and marketing for HOSPECO. “To us, vended feminine hygiene products are a required amenity in all women’s public restrooms, just like toilet paper, hand soap and paper towels.” “This is a valuable service to provide and I am glad that girls at my school will have free access to these products,” said Arts and Business High School Principal Ana Zambrano. This initiative comes from the push of Ferreras-Copeland and the City Council to make feminine products free in middle schools, high schools and other public facilities across the city, including hospitals, parks and cultural institutions. “Offering free menstrual care supplies as we do toilet paper and condoms is a matter of avoiding health risks, eliminating the stigma that surrounds a natural part of a woman’s life, and for girls in school, not having to skip class because they got their period,” said Ferreras-Copeland. “Feminine hygiene products allow women and girls to carry out their daily responsibilities uninterrupted and they should always be easily accessible.” Council Speaker Melissa Mark Viverito (D-Manhattan/ Bronx) has joined Ferreras-Copeland to introduce legislation for free hygiene products by next month. The Council is also set to lobby Albany to join Maryland, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Minnesota and New Jersey in eliminating sales tax on feminine products, considered a medical device by the FDA. Prescription drugs, sunscreen and condoms are among some of the items that are already exempt from sales tax in New York State due to the fact that they are necessary items for a person’s health. Ferreras-Copeland held two round table discussion with young women and over 30 advocates to inform the legislation and address the situation of poor access to pads, tampons and other menstrual supplies throughout the city. A third round table discussion was held at the unveiling at City Hall. Reach Yvette Brown at (718)3577400 ext. 128, ybrown@queenstribune. com or @eveywries. Uproar Over PS 128 UPK Rumor By Jon Cronin Staff Writer Community fears were allayed at the CEC 24 meeting on Tuesday night after parents spotted project surveyors last week making measurements for a 30,000 square foot free-standing Universal Pre-Kindergarten center in PS 128 playground in Middle Village. CEC 24 President Nick Comaianni told the crowd at the beginning of the meeting that there will be no project at PS 128, an announcement that received thunderous applause in the auditorium of PS 58 in Maspeth. “This is something that should have been told to the community because this is for the community,” said Comaianni. He added that after learning of the project on Friday, they spent the weekend on the phone and on Sunday was relieved to find out from the SCA that there would be no UPK center. Comaianni told them, “Fine, put it on paper,” which they did and CEC 24 Vice President Peter Vercessi read the apologetic letter aloud. The letter stated that the SCA believed at the beginning of the school year that District 24 would not have enough room for all the UPK students. They believed, “There was no need to alert the community,” wrote SCA CEO Lorraine Grillo, adding, “This investigation is terminated,” and apologized on behalf of the SCA. SCA Chief of Staff Melanie LaRocca said she was there, “to reiterate, there are no plans for a standalone pre-K center at PS 128.” She added that the SCA was doing their best in the mayor’s, “ambitious goal of pre-K for every child.” PS 128 Parent Matilada Fratto said in front of the packed auditorium that keeping this project from the community was, “untruthful and misleading.” She noted that the project had been advertised on the SCA website as a project that would begin the open bid process on Nov. 1. Vercessi added that the school was already at 120 percent of capacity and had to give up lab space, a music room, the library and a computer lab to accommodate the students.

While most of the campaigns are to encourage people to take the steps to detect the disease in its early stages, there are other ways to take a stand and contribute to finding awareness. For the past six years, Frank Vigna, owner of Frank’s Tire, Auto & Truck Repair, has been contributing to breast cancer awareness in his own unique way – by rotating tires. From Oct. 1 through 13th, Vigna will be charging $15 for tire rotation and at the end of the month, all proceeds made from rotating tires will be donated to the Susan G. Komen organization. “Tires are the nature of our business,” said Vigna. “We’re Frank’s Tire, Auto & Truck Repair.” Back when Vigna’s children were in high school, he noticed the school took part in several charitable activities, with one of those activities being a breast cancer walk.

October marks Breast Cancer Awareness Month and is an ideal time to learn more about the disease. Here are some things to consider: • Screening improves the chances of early detection of breast cancer, when it is easier to treat. Follow the ACS’s guidelines for detection. Their recommendations include that women age 40 and older have a mammogram annually, and that women in their 20s and 30s have a clinical breast exam during their regular health exam -- preferably every three years. • Healthy lifestyle choices can help reduce one’s risk for developing breast cancer: eat a healthful diet, get regular physical activity and reduce alcohol intake. • There are many volunteer and fundraising opportunities that support the fight against breast cancer.

De Blasio said the services will provide families with a number of different ways to keep them from having to call local shelters, or in even worse cases the streets of New York, home. This will include the funding of improved free legal representation for housing court. According to the mayor, this will help aid thousands of New Yorkers facing a variety of housing troubles and eviction. “The economic recovery that so many New Yorkers are enjoying now hasn’t reached everyone,” Mayor de Blasio said in a press release. “Too many families are becoming homeless for purely economic reasons – their wages are flat while their rent is steep. With these programs, we are intervening early to keep families in their homes before shelter becomes their only option.” The investment is part of a concerted effort citywide to pre-emptively assist those on the brink of poverty in getting the help and understanding of the issues they face. Steven Banks, commissioner of the The New York City Human Resources Management Administration said that the barrier of understanding between those in housing court and the true scope of the situation they find themselves in is a part of the reason why so many end up on the streets. “Too often, low-income tenants in Housing Court without a lawyer face a landlord with a lawyer and that, rather than the facts or the law, determines the outcome,” Banks said. He added that the money the mayor is putting towards the effort “will protect more families and individuals and prevent additional New Yorkers from becoming homeless by keeping them in their homes and preserving affordable housing.” The HRA is the organization behind the civil legal services provided to Mayor de Blasio introduced his new plan to prevent family eviction this week. clients in New York City. As of this year, there are two types of services meant to protect tenants throughout the city; Anti-eviction legal services meant to prevent families from losing their homes in the first place, and Anti-Harrassment Tenant protection, meant to help residents from being severely pressured out of their homes by landlords and rezoning. The $12.3 million that the mayor is currently allocating will help expand anti-eviction programs in specified areas across the five boroughs. Here in Queens, Jamaica and South Jamaica will see the expansion of these services. According to de Blasio, the new investment will grow in the coming fiscal years. A total $46.3 million will have been invested towards the initiatives by the end of 2016, and will continue to grow to the end of the following year to $61.8 million. By 2017, the total put towards the plan would be more than 10 times the Mayor’s original $6 million anti-eviction investment first made in 2013. The increased support will provide help to 19,000 households and 13,700 households for anti-eviction and anti-harassment services, respectively a total of about 113,000 individuals once the implementation of these funds are in full swing. “Prevention is one of our core strategies to stop homelessness before it begins,” Homeless Services Commissioner Gilbert Taylor said. “Expanding programs like these are crucial to ensuring that families remain in their homes and communities.” Homelessness has been a major focus for the Mayor since taking office in 2013. Earlier this year, the mayor launched an extensive advertising campaign to promote the city’s Homebase services which started in September 2004. The Homebase program works to connect families with useful resources to prevent homelessness. As of this year, 62,000 individuals are signed up with the program, This past August, the Queens Tribune reported on the Mayor’s NYC Safe Initiative, a $22.4 million program meant to help the thousands of homeless individuals suffering from extensive mental illnesses get the medical attention they need. The mayor called the program an “evidence-driven public safety and public health program that will help prevent violence.” While the plans agreeable, the Queens Tribune did reach out to ask the mayor how his newest investment will help those who were already evicted. According to a spokesperson from the Mayor’s office, the De Blasio administration has made efforts to get those already suffering from getting evicted off the streets and into public housing. “This administration is working aggressively to address homelessness,” spokesperson Ishanee Parikh said, “investing $1 billion over the next four years to prevent homeless- ness by keeping families and individuals stably housed, move individuals on our street to shelter, and help those in shelter exit to permanent housing.” According to statistics provided by the Coalition for the Homeless’ State of the Homeless 2015 report, although homelessness rates have declined by as much a 300 families so far in 2015, those hit hardest by the factors contributing to extreme poverty are minority families with young children. In fact, in 2014 one in 43 children under the age of 18 across the city of New York have spent at least one night in a homeless shelter. In terms of demographic, one in 17 black children and one in 34 Latino children have spent a night in a homeless shelter compared to one in 368 white children. In terms of family, one in every 72 families have at some point relied on homeless shelters. In minority communities, one in every 31 black families and one in every 57 Latino families have spent a night in a homeless shelter. The study, which pointed out several ways both de Blasio and Gov. Andrew Cuomo and future New York City leaders could help relieve some of the issues, including the allocation of 2,500 public housing apartments for homeless families for the next 10 years. Many Queens politicians have shown major support to the Mayor’s plan. Borough president Melinda Katz told the Queens Tribune that she is 100 percent behind de Blasio’s proposal. “Government must do absolutely everything we can to help keep families in their homes,” Katz said. “The Mayor’s bold commitment of such significant resources reflects the level of priority he has placed on preventing homelessness and tenant empowerment, and is a boon for Queens communities.” Sen. James Sanders Jr. (D-Rochdale Village) said that he too applauded the Mayor’s plan. “Too many New Yorkers are struggling to find an affordable place to live or to stay in their homes once they have a roof over their head,” Sanders said. “We must do all we can to prevent homelessness and unfair evictions.” Council Member Rory I. Lancman (D-Fresh Meadows), Chair of the Committee on Courts & Legal Services said that “too often, tenants are evicted because they cannot afford a lawyer to defend their legal right to remain in their homes. This substantial increase in funding will provide lawyers to families in areas where tenants have struggled against increasing rents and predatory landlords.” Reach Trone Dowd at (718) 357-7400 x123, tdowd@queenspress.com or @theloniusly.

J ust like in Brooklyn, in Queens we can also talk about “A Tale of Two Cities.” As you can see in the map, the borough appears to be strikingly divided into two parts when it comes to the housing market: • North (look for the lighter green color on the map showing which neighborhoods are seeing increases in median home price bigger than 10 percent); • South (look for the dark red color on the map showing the neighborhoods where home prices have decreased the most) The biggest price increases can be seen in the neighborhoods at the border with Manhattan; • Hunters Point has seen an increase in median home price/sqft. of 132 percent. The median in 2014 was $924 (from $399 in 2004), which makes it similar now to Park Slope and other rich neighborhoods in Brooklyn; • LIC has also seen an impressive 110 percent jump in median home price/sqft (from $326 to $685); • Sunnyside and South Astoria, which were considered upper-middle-class even back in 2004, have maintained their status in 2014. Median home prices are in the lower $600 per square feet. One can hardly talk about a Williamsburg phenomenon happening in Queens – LIC hasn’t yet reached that increase in home prices seen in Williamsburg. The most significant increases in median home price/sqft. took place in areas which, albeit industrial, were still considered middle class even in 2004. Conclusion: The gentrification phenomenon which has started in Queens a while back is still much more localized than in Brooklyn and it is still debatable if Queens will become the next Brooklyn soon. The project: This map is part of a bigger project meant to illustrate how home prices have changed in NYC in the last decade and, indirectly, the impact gentrification has had on several areas in the city. The median home price per square feet was calculated based on all home sales closed in each neighborhood between 2004 and 2014.

Southeast Queens’ real estate scene is thriving with large, quality homes available for customers looking for something a little more luxurious. Though the community bore the brunt of the foreclosure crisis after the 2008 financial collapse, across Southeast Queens, the marketplace is thriving. For many in the community, the epitome of posh Southeast Queens is the community of Addisleigh Park in St. Albans. Known for being the home of jazz greats in the early 20th Century, and baseball icon Jackie Robinson, the neighborhood, named a historic district in 2011, today is still Southeast Queens’ most exclusive. Homes in the community still cross the half million threshold, including one Tudor-style home at 173-05 113th Ave. The four-bedroom home with a lawn and a finished basement is listed for $549,000 according to Zillow.

A look over the statistics for other areas of Southeast Queens, including Springfield Gardens, Jamaica, Hollis, South Ozone Park and Far Rockaway, shows that the interest in high end homes has grown from quarter to quarter across the board. There has been an increase in median sales price for every portion of Southeast Queens, with the exception of South Ozone Park every quarter so far. According to a report conducted by StreetEasy.com, Springfield Gardens saw a six percent increase in its median real estate sales price, with prices going from $335,000 to $350,000 to $370,000 between the last three quarters. Compared to the last couple of years, the average price of a house increased about 14 percent since 2014, and 21 percent since 2013. And that trend is reflected in some of the housing available on the market. Located at 140-12 181 St. in Springfield Gardens, a two family townhouse with three bedrooms and two bathrooms per home and a finished basement is currently going for $725,000. The house, which was built in 1940, is just 10 minutes from both the Jamaica shopping center and John F. Kennedy Airport, making it a convenient location for any New Yorker. According to the same report, Jamaica, which is rapidly becoming known for its businesses, liveliness and diversity saw one of the largest increases in median sales prices. In 2015, the average price for a home in Jamaica is around $340,000. That is up 50 percent from 2014 and up an astonishing 212 percent from 2013. One home, located at 187-10 Jordan Ave. shows that the houses on the market are not afraid to show off the upscale reputation Jamaica has been gaining in the last five years or so. Built in 1930 and currently going for $508,000, this two-story home features three bedrooms, one and a half bathrooms, a fireplace, hardwood floors, a garage and a spacious backyard, all tucked deep within the residential areas of one of Queens ever growing sections. Hollis also saw an increase in median sales prices as well, with prices currently set at $420,000 on average. This is up 15 percent from the last two fiscal quarters, 13 percent from last year and from 2013. South Ozone Park was the only part of Southeast Queens that saw a drop in median sales price from a previous quarter. While the average price was $374,000 in the most recent quarter according to the Streeteasy report, it was a eight percent decrease from the previous quarter’s $405,000 average. In terms of the year to year changes however, there was an overall increase, rising just one percent over 2014 and 16 percent over 2013. Located at 129-45 135th St. in South Ozone Park, one pre-war Townhouse first built in 1925 features three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms a number of different amenities including a large backyard with a storage shack, a private driveway and finished basement. The home is also located near major highways including the Van Wyck, the Belt Parkway and the Nassau Expressway making it easy to get the kids to school and to work in the morning. Lastly, Far Rockaway, like many of the areas in Southeast Queens, saw an overall increase in the median sales price of the area, which currently sits at $330,000. Increasing 15 percent over the previous two quarters, the Far Rockaway area is still holding strong in the housing market just three years after the events of Hurricane Sandy which made a lasting impact on the area. The Southeast Queens real estate scene is growing rapidly, and the market is catching on. For those interested, be sure to jump on things now before the area’s most expensive homes become even more out of the average working man or woman’s price range.

We like it quiet out here.” Historically, buyers have been drawn to the serenity of Bayside, not bothered by a longer commute to Manhattan. And though the area has always been perceived as a place where wealthier New Yorkers reside, these days Bayside is seen as a homestead for great value in property. “It’s a little hidden gem,” Betsy Pollak says of the neighborhood she spent more than 50 years living in, while working as a real estate representative there for the past 29 years. “You don’t need to be a Wall Street executive to live in Bayside. The prices are higher than they’ve ever been, but they haven’t jumped like in other areas.” Case in point, the Douglas Elliman secondquarter report for Northeast Queens put the median sales price for all homes in the area at a little under $480,000. Over that same timespan, the median sales price (continued on page 8) file photo These idyllic, dream-quality images represent what most are said to strive for, and few neighborhoods in the five boroughs aspire to see those scenes play out more greatly than Bayside. But eager real estate buyers hopeful for a slice of this American pie must beware. The Bayside market is booming right now, creating competition rarely seen in the region, while helping already healthy closing prices balloon to new heights. “It hasn’t been like this in a long time,” Anthony Carollo says. He’s serviced much of Northeast Queens, including Bayside, as owner of Carollo Real Estate for 13 years. “People want to sell right now. It’s a great market.” Recent reports bear that observation out. In an outline of secondquarter sales, Douglas Elliman revealed a whopping 30 percent increase in median sales prices for Northeast Queens, which includes Bayside, when compared to the prior year, along with a near 7 percent jump in overall number of sales. That news came after a quarter-one statement from the real estate giant indicating four consecutive quarters of falling figures in the region. In an exclusive report provided to the Queens Tribune by StreetEasy.com, total sales for each type of property – homes, condos, and co-ops – are on pace to at least equal or exceed record numbers set in 2014.

Now, let’s get down to business. You’ve found a house, applied for a loan, and received a commitment from the bank. Is it time to start planning your housewarming party? Almost. At this point there are three sets of attorneys working on your purchase (buyer, seller, bank). These lawyers are working on various issues, including what’s called a title report. This report ensures that the sale can properly proceed. If the property has any liens, or title issues, then further actions will be needed before closing. Once your title report is finished, you’ll have a final inspection of the property. This inspection usually takes place few days before closing, and it’s your last chance to make sure that the home is in the agreed upon condition. After the inspection is complete, it’s time to close. Closing meetings are a group affair, and you can expect to see a lot of faces around the table. Your attorney, the sellers, the seller’s attorney, the bank’s attorney, the title closer, and the realtor may all be there. And if you think there are a lot of people at this meeting, just wait until you see all the paperwork. But don’t worry, your lawyer should explain the documents you’re signing, and answer any questions that come up. After you’ve presented your certified funds to the seller you’ll choose a move-in date, and end the meeting with smiles, handshakes, and a few hugs. Then it happens.

The piece is a bit out of the ordinary for RENTCafe, which is primarily a site for prospective renters to look up apartment listings and find rentals and compare prices in major US cities. “We saw that this is really appealing to the public,” Bulea said. “And we like this kind of project.” RENTCafe, which is owned by software company Yardi Systems, has done several other similar ones, including posting photos of views from high-rise buildings and similar slideshows that show how architecture in different cities has evolved over many years. the transformation in several parts of the borough where major developments have been built, most notably Sky View Parc in Flushing and the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene building in Queens Plaza. Users can slide their cursor left to right to see the same view and how it changed from 2007 to 2014. “It was one of our colleagues who after seeing some satellite photos thought that instead of just having a before and after photo, 41st Avenue and Crescent Street in Long Island City in 2007, left, and today. PHOTOS COURTESY RENTCAFE.COM Now you can see just how dramatic that transformation has been using your mouse. RENTCafe, an online resource for renters, has compiled some photos using Google Street View of various locations in Queens, how they looked in 2007 and how they looked in 2014. Camelia Bulea, RENTCafe’s marketing communication specialist, said the idea came from a colleague who thought it would be fun to see it would be interesting to just slide and see how the years have affected the neighborhood,” Bulea said. “We just love using some technology to do this. We’ve done it for Manhattan and Brooklyn as well. We wanted to see how much the neighborhood was transformed. We chose some of the most famous developments in recent years.” Among the other locations RENTCafe features Hunters Point, the Santorini in Astoria, the Queens Savoy Hotel in Kew Gardens, the Aston on Queens Boulevard in Forest Hills and the Ocean One Condominium tower in the Rockaways. Page 6 Oct. 1-7, 2015 Tribune/Press Real estate MaRketplace Flushing West: City Planning To Present Zoning Recommendations By LyNN EDMONDS Staff Writer W aterfront access to a picturesque creek; affordable housing for senior citizens; pedestrian friendly streets and open space; these are just some of the ideas that the City and stakeholders have for the now-mostly industrial Flushing West neighborhood. The Department of City Planning will present draft zoning recommendations for the neighborhood, bounded by Northern Boulevard to the North, the Van Wyck Expressway to the West, Roosevelt Avenue to the South, and Prince Street to the East, on Oct. 7, after months of planning and meetings with community stakeholders, and years of work before that. It’s an effort that goes back to 2010, when the Flushing-Willets PointCorona Local Development Corporation won a $1.5 million Brownfield Opportunity Area grant to improve the area. Their presentation should begin to identify specific ways to meet their goals of open space, a publicly–accessible waterfront esplanade, business opportunities and affordable housing.” Flushing West, which touches the western edge of Flushing’s commercial hub, is home to small stores, hotels, the former Flushing Mall, and some industry; including auto shops, contractors, and a Uhaul warehouse. The area around the waterfront currently isn’t much to look at, and city workers at the most recent public meeting on Sept. 12 said that the current zoning regulations could incentivize businesses that are even less welcoming to pedestrians to start cropping up. The M3-1 zoning that exists in the Northwest corner of the study area, for example, is the highest intensity industrial type of zoning that exists, and allows for noxious businesses. Another change that would likely benefit pedestrians is increased waterfront access. Currently, there is little access to the waterfront, and where there is space to walk, the promenade is narrower than required under city regulations. But the most ambitious goal may be to create more affordable housing. But Councilman Peter Koo (DFlushing) said developers are unlikely to bite unless they get some concessions. “Developers develop buildings to make money, they don’t do it for charity,” he said. The challenge is identifying potential concessions for developers the councilman added, in an area near the airport and the water – where building up, and building down, is not an option. He also mentioned quality of life issues, like congestion, school overcrowding, air pollution, and sewer lines that are straining to meet the community’s needs already. “We have to find some way to improve on those quality of life issues and also infrastructure issues,” he said. “The idea is good, but it’s a challenge.” The draft zoning presentation will take place on Oct. 7 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Flushing Library on Main Street.

To meet the demands of the more than 55 million travelers, hundreds of hotels are in various stages of development. NYC & Company reports a total of 178 hotels are in development or have opened in the past three years. They are located in neighborhoods and boroughs across the city, from the Bronx to Staten Island. There are at least 100 new properties planned and in construction, including 15 in Brooklyn, 13 in Queens and eight in Staten Island and the Bronx. The Real Deal reported that since the beginning of the year, a total of nine building permits were filed for hotels in Queens with a total of 894 rooms Thousands of tourists are taking advantage of lower prices at hotels in the Borough of Queens. In addition to lower room prices, developers are anxious to develop hotels in Queens, especially in Long Island City. A Pratt Center for Community Development study released in March reported that Long Island City hotels have a higher net operating income, average revenue and average market value per square foot than residential, commercial or industrial.

The boutique hotel represents the 26th hotel in operation in this section of Queens. Later this year, the 54 room addition to the Ravel Hotel, which will be known as Estate at Ravel is scheduled to open. October, 2016 is the scheduled date for the opening of the 22 story, 176 room, Aloft Long Island City, at 27-45 Jackson Avenue. Construction has been delayed for the opening of the Four Points by Sheraton Flushing and Element Flushing. The Four Points by Sheraton will feature 18 rooms, and the Element Flushing will open 118 rooms. The hotels were announced in September 2013 with a planned opening before the end of the year. According to the company website the properties will open in December, 2017. A number of hotels are planned to open over the next eighteen months especially in Jamaica. A total of seven new hotels are planned including a number for downtown Jamaica. They include a nine story, 155 room, Four Points Sheraton on 94th Avenue. A few blocks away will be the 224 room Courtyard by Marriott and 114 room Fairfield Inn and Suites are planned for Archer Avenue, near 149th Street.

No matter the cost, if a property in Bayside is priced right by the seller, it will be off the market in a flash. StreetEasy.com reports the median number of days in 2014 that Bayside houses and townhouses spent on the market was a microscopic 42. Only two years prior, that number was 123. Steven Meyer, owner of the Century 21 Bay Benjamin branch says, “In other parts of the country you can spend years trying to sell something. In Bayside, a sale can be made in as quickly as one week.” One reason for such frenetic movement when a home does reach the market is an incredible dearth of inventory in Bayside. Almost all of the region’s land has long been bought up, and the neighborhood’s zoning laws do not permit highdensity developments to go up. Meyer estimates conservatively that re-sales make up 90 percent of his office’s total closings. According to Meyer, Pollak and Carollo though, all that Bayside has to offer its residents is really what’s helping the area draw so much attention of late. They point to the abundance of shopping, observing that the Bay Terrace mall has recently drawn more high-profile outlets that Queens-ites could only visit after a trip to Long Island. Each of them touts Bayside’s central location near a number of highways and waterfronts, along with the presence of the Long Island Railroad and many express busses. Bayside’s school District 26 is one of the city’s best, and that classic suburban atmosphere persists, just 25 minutes east of Manhattan. “If you want it all, you come to Bayside,” Carollo says. www.queenstribune.com • Oct. 1-7, 2015 Tribune Page 27 How To Avoid The Common Investing Mistakes by Domenick RafteR Editor in Chief Since the 2008 financial crisis, it might not be surprising to find out that the common man is, to say the least, a little leery of investing. We see it every business day, on the nightly newscasts or on our smart phones, the red and green arrows telling us if the three major indices are up or down. We hear the reasons why when we see the red arrows; Greece, China, Janet Yellen, whoever she is, was sent to the hospital. So it may seem right to say that investing is not for everyone. But that’s not what Ken Weber, a mutual fund expert and registered investment advisor, thinks. “Investing is for almost everyone,” Weber, author of Dear Investor, What the HELL are You Doing?: Smart and Easy Ways to Fix the Mistakes You Make With Your Money says. And his book outlines the right way to invest; easy to follow steps on how to avoid the mistake and pitfalls that get many rookie investors. Weber says most investors make the same mistakes, and those mistakes are a direct result of human conditions, such as fear, greed, lack of patience and lack of discipline. “[This Book] directly stems from having thousands of conversations with investors across the country,” he said. “Most of the mistakes are common mistakes. Smart investing is not hard.” In the post-Madoff world, it is expected that many people who aren’t well versed in the world of investing are fearful about giving away their money. He noted that in the Bernie Madoff scandal, there was a number of “red flags” that went missed, but that there are certain easy rules to keep in mind to avoid being scammed. Among the tips he outlines in his book; never write out a check to an individual broker or registered investment advisor, always write it out to the company. Another common mistake he outlined is a constant issue, especially with inexperienced investors; selling in a downturn. “Selling while the market is down is probably the most egregious mistake people make,” Weber said. The human instinct, he explains, is to get out of the market when things are bad, but for investors who are in for the long term, or even the medium term, selling in a bear market is a terrible idea. First, selling low means your investment has lost value and you’ve probably made a loss, or as Weber puts it, you’re “locking in losses.” But downturns very rarely last ken Weber offers smart investing advice in his book “Dear investor, What the HeLL are you Doing?: Smart and easy Ways to fix the mistakes you make With your money.” a long time. Even after the 2008 financial crisis, during which the major indices drop as much as 50 percent, the losses were reclaimed within a few years and then some. As a registered investment advisor, Weber is regulated by the SEC, while brokers are not. He has “a fiduciary duty to the client.” That means he is legally bound to make decisions in his client’s interest, even if it doesn’t make him money. That responsibility is a major reason he wrote the book. “It’s about educating the investor,” he said. “Showing them what to do, and what not to do.” Page 28 Tribune Oct. 1-7, 2015 • www.queenstribune.com LEISURE Harmonizing With Nature In Flushing By Lynn Edmonds Staff Writer Six contemporary artists engage with the theme “Exploring Harmony with Nature” at a new exhibit at Flushing Town Hall, open through Oct. 15. The visual artists, who reside in New York City, also have roots in Korea, China and Taiwan. Curator Suechung Koh spoke about the theme’s importance to her. “There is an inseparable bond between man and nature. Man cannot exist removed from nature. Yet the careless actions men undertake harm the balance of nature, she said. “Loving and living in harmony with nature is the true way to heal the harm mankind has caused. Through that process, mankind also will be cured.” The artists’ works don’t all depict beautiful, harmonious relationships with nature, however. Some of their works explore the tension that occurs when there is discord between humans and their environment. “Sometimes I would rather show behind the canvas, and there are many invisible stories hiding like a secret space,” Koh said. Young Kwon’s piece “The Soul of the Dead Animal,” for example, shows the flattened head of wolf trapped inside an ugly mesh of iron. Hai-Hsin Huang’s work also exhibits tension, with one piece depicting a dystopic child’s birthday party. The young artist says she is interested in “banal ever day life scenes that reveal an ambiguous atmosphere between humor and horror.” On the other hand, three oil paint- Hello Flavor, Welcome To Jamaica For those living and working in Downtown Jamaica, the lack of culinary diversity is more than a problem; it’s an affront to the very nature of the diverse borough that calls Jamaica its county seat. But nestled in the block on 161 Street on the ground floor of Norman Towers is a brand new offering to the palate of Jamaica. The paint is fresh, the furniture looks brand new, the workers are only just getting to know each other, but the line is already out the door at lunchtime. It’s probably the steak torta. Don Nico’s bills itself as a Mexican eatery, but there’s a noticeable hint of Italian in the menu, the native cuisine of owner Nicola Maurello, former owner of Pasticcio, which was a well-known Italian restaurant in Murray Hill, Manhattan. If the name sounds familiar, it’s because you might have seen Don Nico’s food kiosk in Downtown Brooklyn. The Jamaica eatery is Maurello and long-time friend and chief Tony Luna’s brick-and-mortar version. This past Monday, Don Nico’s premiered it’s full menu. Open for breakfast and lunch, the eatery is already a popular place for local workers, and its steak tortas will no doubt become legendary fairly quickly. Colorful and welcoming, Don Nico’s decor brings you “South of the Border.” From the vibrant reds and yellows to the surfboards hanging on the walls, you get the feeling you’re dining on a Mexican seaside cafe. Maurello started us off with a grilled shrimp taco. A truly authentic experience, the taco is not like the traditional hard shelled treat you’d get at a fastfood place. It was more like a wrap.

Grilled steak in a tasty Mexican bread with jalapeno, onions, cheddar cheese, lettuce and tomatoes bathing in a tangy chipotle mayo that will have you asking for a side order of the sauce. Maurello said he plans on expanding the menu in the future, including adding a Mexican version of the Italian snack bruschetta. The next time you find yourself in Downtown Jamaica with a growling stomach, stop by Don Nico’s and enjoy a flavorful lunch – and don’t miss the torta. -domenick Rafter ings by Eric Chiang depict beautiful scenes that are harmonious in a musical as well as figurative way.

The exhibit called “The Moment” is an expression of multi-disciplinary art forms including sculpture and landscape architecture. The sculptors are four Taiwanese artists, Ya Hon CHANG, Hsu Tang WEO, Kuang-Hu LEE and Wen-Fu YU. The event was organized by the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Taipei and Taiwanese American Arts Council in conjunction with New York City Parks. The artwork of Ya Hon CHANG is on display inside in the mueum and displays an existential concentration of identity within society. Tang-Wei HSU is also in the museum is a cross between the natural environment, sculpture and anime. Among the more visible exhibits outside the museum in the park are sculptures by Kuang-Hu LEE, whose work embodies the empowerment of the individual through meditation and myth. Wen-Fu YU’s landscape work is the most integrative art in the park behind the Queens Museum, his bamboo reeds and trees with feathers create a ‘moment’ of stillness within a busy landscape. -Jon Cronin www.queenstribune.com • Oct. 1-7, 2015 Tribune Page 29 Stephen C.

The Red Storm have now raised over $255,000 in the five years of the event. “Cancer affects everybody at some point,” said head coach Chris Mullin. “I lost both my parents to cancer, my brother’s battling cancer right now, so it’s one disease I hate. I would do anything to get rid of it.” Fans dribbled basketballs around campus with players. “Dribbling with the kids is always fun,” said senior guard Felix Balamou. “Signing autographs, getting to know new people, giving back to the community, that’s all it’s about.” Another senior is Danaejah Grant, who spoke about her favorite memories of the event. “Seeing the kids’ faces, seeing their smiles on their faces while we come out here and interact with them,” said the guard who was named to the All-Big East Second Team last season. “Just giving them the opportunity to be out here with us and enjoy the day.” This was the first Dribble for the Cure on Utopia Parkway of the Chris Mullin Era. Along with the new coach comes a new group of players who are experiencing life at St. John’s for the first time. “We can feel the positive vibes Photo by DaviD russell By DaviD Russell Jack Kaiser, Lou Carnesecca and Chris Mullin at Saturday’s Dribble For A Cure. around campus,” said Ron Mvouika, a transfer from Missouri State. “That’s a good thing, so hopefully we can get something special going.” Another transfer with a year of eligibility remaining is Durand Johnson who played at Pittsburgh before being suspended by the NCAA last season. “Just giving back is always good,” he said. “The kids come out, they want to have fun, they want to meet the players, and they want to have a good time.” The funds raised will support Dr. Mitchell Cairo, Chief of Pediatric Hematology, Oncology and Stem Cell Transplantation at New York Medical College. Since PCRF was founded in 1982, the cure rate for childhood cancer has gone from under 20 percent to over 80 percent. A few former NBA players joined in to help as well. Mullin’s rival and Knicks fan favorite Larry Johnson showed up as well as Mullin’s Golden State teammate Mitch Richmond. Mullin is trying to convince Rich- mond to take a spot on his St. John’s staff. Also on campus were St. John’s icons Lou Carnesecca and Jack Kaiser. “It’s wonderful,” said Carnesecca, Mullin’s coach in the early 80s. “This is what college life is. This is what you learn, to do things for others, to give up yourself.” “That’s the way it was,” said Kaiser, who has entered St. John’s in 1944, and later became the baseball coach and athletic director. “And we want it to be that way again.” The Scholars’ Academy PSAL Girls Soccer Team went 5 and 0 after the first five games of the season. With 15 points, they currently top the Queens B-V division, four points ahead of second place Flushing High School. The girls have outscored their opponents 29-2 in those first five games. Highlights from the past four games include: Erin McDermott 9 goals; Jessica Buckley 8 goals, 5 assists; Kelsey Flynn 4 goals, 5 assists; Aleksandra Neckahuptysiows 2 goals, 7 assists. Goalkeeper Kalyn Marrero has let up just 2 goals in the past four games, both against John Bowne at Fort Tilden on Sept. 22. The team is coached by former collegiate soccer player Melissa Pascarella who has very high hopes for this season. “The team has great chemistry and tremendous talent,” says Pascarella. “This team could undoubtedly take it all the way.” The Scholars’ Academy has entered the “B” Division in the Public Schools Athletic League for the first year this season. The Seawolves are to play again Thursday, Oct. 1 against Queens High School Complex, whom they defeated 6-0 in the season’s first game on Sept. 8 at Fort Tilden. The Scholars Academy’s Lady Seawolves are undefeated so far this season.
